Yes its fine. Unused ram is wasted ram so every os will try to cache maximum things in RAM. Also move your OS (C: ?) to SSD

Have you shared 3 GB RAM to Graphics Card in BIOS? Because its only showing 3 GB RAM hardware reserved.

Thats a temporary ssd, but soon I'll get a one when any deal comes for 128gb sata ssd. Also, would you recommend installing 64bit windows in this system?

In case of integrated graphics a portion of the main memory is reserved exclusively for it's use. Check in the BIOS if there's a setting to control how much of the RAM is allocated to the iGPU or not? 512MB should fine for most workloads that are not GPU intensive.

In bios settings, there's no option for checking or changing ram allocated to gpu, where can i find it?
